Gov. Kathy Hochul is closely monitoring the situation involving Mayor Eric Adams, who faces an impending indictment, but has refrained from commenting until law enforcement confirms details.
Mayor Adams maintains his innocence in light of pending federal charges, characterizing them as false accusations and suggesting a motive of political retribution from federal authorities.
The situation has prompted a chorus of calls for Mayor Adams' resignation from various elected officials, including those vying for his seat in the upcoming 2025 mayoral race.
The reported charges against Mayor Adams may relate to allegations of being an unregistered agent for a foreign government, specifically involving contributions from the Turkish government.
